Randy Blythe

I just knew it was weird. And I, that's where i when i was really young i tried to fit in for a little while but it just didn't work i just couldn't i was like a square peg going trying to go into a round hole and i didn't understand i didn't understand why someone would be mean to me because I enjoyed reading books or they're like, you're a nerd. I'm like, but that means I'm smart.

Isn't that the goal to not be an idiot? This did definitely lead to a feeling of sort of separation from my peers. When I discovered punk rock music, that's when I first started feeling, oh, someone else understands me. Because by the time I had given up trying to fit in, I started to become mad because I was like, I just can't fit in and people are judging me. So I was like angry.

I was angry about this. And I didn't really feel comfortable in my own skin. And then I started here. I first heard the Sex Pistols, Nevermind the Bollocks, a tape in the seventh grade. This other guy I knew who was a skateboarder gave me. And I was like, these people understand. I heard the music. They're angry and they understand.

And I started delving into that subculture some and eventually going to shows and meeting people. And most of the people in that subculture were exactly like me. They did not fit in. So... as much as I would like to think of myself as I'm okay, I'm this stoic outsider sort of human beings are social animals. And the quote, no man is an Island is absolutely true. We need social groups.

We crave social contact. And so I found that within the music scene, this underground music scene. And it was the first time I really felt I belonged until I My 11th and 12th grade year, I also wound up going to a high school for the arts half of the school day. And it was a bunch of other weirdos who didn't fit in. So I found my group. But for a long time, I felt very much an outsider.

And some of that may have been heightened by the very nature of being a teenager and going through hormonal changes and everybody feels crazy. But I think I definitely was an outsider and maybe just that teenage confusion that everyone goes through added to that.

Depressing, highly depressing, which manifested itself for a long time in an outward expressions of anger. I was very angry that I could not fit in. And also at the same time, angry outside, but also very self-critical at the same time, pointing fingers at myself. Like I said, I didn't really feel comfortable in my own skin. And it's like, what's wrong with you?

Why are you... Something must be wrong with you. Why can't you fit in? To my view, everybody else was...
